Requirements Marathon 2: Durandal requires a Macintosh Computer or compatible with a 68040 or better processor, 13" 256 color monitor, system 7 or higher, and about 4 megabytes of available RAM. Advanced features such as 16-bit graphics and Ambient Sound require extra memory.
Installation You can play directly from your CD-ROM. However, you will notice speed improvements if you copy the Marathon 2 Application File and the Marathon 2 Sounds file to your Hard Drive. Copy the new version of the Sound Manager, which comes with Marathon 2: Durandal, to your system folder. This speeds up the game a lot!
After launching Marathon 2: Durandal for the first time, it will ask for a serial number. This number is located on the last page of this manual. Enter the Full Serial Number unless you are setting up an additional copy for network play only.
